Tyler Breeze Makes Surprise Appearance At NXT House Show

It’s been a week of homecomings on the NXT house show loop of Florida.

Following The Revival’s surprise appearance on the road tour, Tyler Breeze was in action for NXT in Jacksonville, Florida last night. He was revealed as the surprise opponent for Marcel Barthel in the main event after Barthel issued an open challenge earlier in the show.

Breeze was called up from NXT in October 2015 and hadn’t wrestled for the brand since appearing at three house shows the following year. Along with Fandango, he joined the Raw roster in last month’s Superstar Shake-up. They were on WWE’s European tour for this week’s television and a few house shows, losing a match to The B-Team (Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas) on Raw.
